Sunday, April 14, 2019 - Cellar Triage Tasting of Cabernet Sauvignon; 4/14/2019-4/15/2019 (Home): Making room in the cellar, have hung on to this for sentimental reasons, it is from the period of George Vierra and John McCay running the winery. The wine has both Fay and Volker Eisile vineyard Cabernet as part of the blend and the pedigree is excellent. Anyway the ullage was creeping out of the neck, so I half expected to taste it and consign the balance to vinegar stack, wrong!
Yes, it is aged but the color is more garnet than tawny and the Cabernet flavors true and correct. Still has good structure and acid balance. Only 13%. More than a memento it is quite nice and has nice personality that lives iup to its heritage. No score but it is very nice. Think 93+
